Longtime Hobbyist Will Davis passes

[Fred]

I still remember when those 1964 Topps Giant cards were all over the market and CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP. You could pick up the complete set for less than $5 and there was more than you could want. That's a fond hobby memory I have and now I know where it all started. It's sad to find out this neat piece of hobby news by reading about someone's passing.

I have a hobby reference guide from 1986 that states the 1964 Giants are "common as dirt." Now I know why.

It's sad to discover a long-time collector has passed on, it's essentially a part of our collective information just disappearing in literally a heartbeat.

RIP Will.

This is sad. Mr. Davis helped me as a young collector and the few times we corresponded he was always great. My condolences to his family and friends.

If the figures quoted here are correct they should still be cheap. Lordy, that's a lot of cards.
